The immigration unit was fascinating to me. Since my Grandma came through Ellis Island as a baby it was cool to learn about what it was like. One of the things that was most interesting to me was the inspections while coming through Ellis Island. Some stuff was really disturbing and they labeled people to have diseases over things like a runny nose or cough. It was also interesting that not all immigrants became citizens. Some people or even families would get split up and sent back to the home country. It was sad learning that mothers and fathers were separated from children sometimes.
